The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a nonprofit focused on combating antisemitism, defended tech billionaire Elon Musk’s “awkward” gesture during a Monday celebratory event which some critics panned as a fascist salute.

Hours after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, many Jewish groups sounded the alarm when Elon Musk appeared to twice deliver a Nazi salute at the Presidential Parade. But the Jewish group most famous for fighting antisemitism had a different take.

Anti-Defamation League Chief Executive Jonathan Greenblatt said he didn't think Elon Musk's viral gesture to the crowd at a Monday celebration of President Trump was offensive, after it drew comparisons on social media to a Nazi salute.
